    $57,000 Ballpark Village 9-Ball Invitational in St. Louis,11/27-12/1/2018

    This sounds like they want this to be a really big really nice even. As such I bet there are a lot of moving pieces to figure out especially for a first time event. I suspect figuring those things out has something to do with the postponement. Regardless of whether this even happens, and I...

    Johnnyt RIP

    Saddened to read this. I didn't agree with some of Johnny's more curmudgeony posts, but that was part of the charm. Based on some of the things he has written here he lived a hell of interesting life and a full one at that. He will be missed here. All the best to hus famiky and friends. Sent...

    Pool Drills on Youtube

    Consider me another endorsement for Dr Dave's drills. The BU drills are great to both test yourself and done individually they can work on certain aspects of your game. I would also highly recommend the book Play Great Pool by Mark Wilson. It will show you all of the correct fundamentals and...

    On the contrary I think there has been somewhat of a lack of interesting topics and discussion recently let alone anything worth getting mad about. But thanks for an unnecessary "I'm leaving!!!" thread. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Are you Kidding me ? lol

    I think Indiana is involved in this new college billiard league also. Its sounds pretty cool. I wish such a thing existed when I went there. Honestly I thought the team and pool club at Indiana that we started back in 05 at IU would die after our younger friends graduated, but much to my...

    What would you do for "Pool" if you hit the lottery?

    I'd buy a new house with a dedicated billiard room and stock it with everything top of line. Multiple tables of different sizes and types for pool, billiards, snooker. I'd support custom cue makers by buying my dream cues. I might take a trip around the country going to, playing in, and...

    Watching live versus online

    As I was reading this thread I started to think about my own experiences attending tournaments, and I think Tinman is spot on here. When you are at an event especially if it's a big one like the Derby there is a lot to take in that can't come across on a stream. You get to see the players...

    This Makes Me A Little Sad

    A lot of what I was going to say has already been said by others. However, I was also thinking that one of the things that is much different now than when I joined in 2005 is that there used to be a lot of discussion on here about ongoing tournaments and updates etc. I think a couple of things...

    Carmel/Fishers/Noblesville, IN (Hamilton County) - Where to shoot?

    Hi. I'm a Hamilton County resident and a good by the hour pool room with at least a couple 9ft tables is something I long for. However, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no such place currently exists. The only public places to play in Ham Co are bars with barbox tables as far as I'm aware.

    Tony Robles vs. Thorsten Hohmann

    Thorsten took it down. Thorsten had a run of about 130 in the middle of the match and Tony never really recovered after that despite chances. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Double J is the best most informative analyst/commentator in pool right now. It's like getting lessons. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Champions One Pocket Series Corey Deuel vs Danny Smith AUG 17-19

    Recently Ray has been replaying some recent matches both from tournaments and action. It was stuff that I missed while I let my membership lapse so it was all new to me.

    Oscar Dominguez and Justin Bergman

    I was on the Pool Club Louisville facebook page last night, and they were live on there streaming a Bergman vs Louis Demarco with Demarco getting the breaks and the 7. They were about even when I went to bed, but it was early in the set. Not sure how it came out. I'm not sure if the Oscar...

    apa and big tables

    I would love something like that. Unfortunately it's not very feasible around here. There are only about 2 places around here where it could even be played. As a consequence of not having many 9ft tables here very few people who play league pool here have ever even hit balls on one so I doubt...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    This summer was the first time in 3 years I've played any summer league. Typically it's my MO to take a short vacay from pool during the warm months, but last year I took too much time off and practically quit altogether until September. I got too rusty last year so this year I joined a VNEA 3...

    Any BK Rush Reviews

    A friend of mine bought one and I've used it several times. I was skeptical as I am with most new products, but it convinced me. The difference isn't so much the power, but it's that I can use a more powerful break and still maintain control of the cue ball. When I try the same break with my...
